Z blood. Ii we are going TO grapple with
the question of leprosy, we must have
ut least one professional man who will
exercise his mind iudieially on this
question. There is no system what

lOEai, and how the President of the |

Noble Young believed in economy
but he did not believe in getting on a /
hobby andridingiI to death. This is the (
question of ths country. The London /
Loan is not flea bite compared with it.
Ii is reasonable that q man who gives /
his services TO the country should be /
paid 10y the country. 1t has been said /
merry had no pay. Formerly il made .
little difference whether an official /
had any pay or not. He managed TO /
get paid some way, and he got it. /
Every resident of the Kingdom is per (
>Onally interested in this matter. If |
We do not mind what we are about, we
will soon have 10 pay ten times $1,000 /
on this business.
Noble Smith said he had no doubt
there were Government physicians
who ought 10 be removed for ineffici-
ency. but hitherto there had been no !
qualified person in the employ Of the
Board TO 20 round 10 see what these
doctors are doing or not doing. He
would support the amendment, but
when the time came To vote an appr0-
priatiOn for q paid professional man,
as President of the Board of Health,
he certainly would vote for the appro-

Noble Widemamn denied that all
former Presidents had neglected their
duties He did not believe that a COM
petent medical man could be got for
S4.01 q year.
Rep. Kinney-Then pay him more.

honorable member from Hamakua.
He mentioned certain abuses that ex-
listed in country districts: removing of
persons alleged 10 be lepers was left
pretty much To the police. Lepers
had been threatened st elections that
If they did not vote az directed they
would be sent TO MOlokai. An unpaid
officer could not be responsible one.
He believed in having duties relating
10 the public health attended TO.
When q man is paid, he becomes re-
spOnsible for the efficient discharge of
his duties.
Rep. KalaukOa was willing 10 vote
for a salary for an efficient President
